Bringing you the beauty of New York State. I love taking pictures of Nature, Sunsets, Bodies of Water and Landscaping. I started posting my photos on Facebook on August 7, 2012 and did my first wedding on September 1, 2012.

What type of photography is your favorite and why?My favorite type of photography is nature photography: birds, butterflies, flowers, trees, sunsets and various animals. I love capturing nature because it is always beautiful, colorful, inspiring, and I am in awe of the sheer grandeur and vastness of the world we live in.

When did you first start doing photography? I started doing photography from a very young age, taking my mother's camera whenever I got the chance. In middle school I received a little point-and-shoot that I took everywhere with me.

When you're not shooting photos, how do you spend your time? When I'm not out taking pictures of whatever I can find or a portrait session, I am enjoying nature. I love going to the beach, kayaking, and hiking. I also love baking and watching movies.

Did you go to school to study photography? If yes, where? I studied photography at Stevenson University just last year, and plan to continue studying it in the future.

How would you describe your style? I would describe my style as full of light, soft, romantic and definitely colorful.

What type of camera(s) do you shoot with? I use a Canon T3i with various different lenses.

What type of photography is your favorite and why?
Currently I am enjoying black and white photography, which is surprising because I am usually attracted to wild designs and bright colors. However, any landscape portraying this beautiful Earth is a favorite of mine.

When did you first start doing photography?
Photography has always been a constant in my life, however only recently have I pursued the passion to share my perspectives and captures with others. My photography corresponds with my travels and amazement of this Whole Wild World.

When you're not shooting photos, how do you spend your time?
Though I always have some form of a camera with me, aside from taking photos I love to hike, bike, swim, kayak, camp, read, learn, travel, and eat (of course). Being outside and with good company is the most pleasing way to spend my time.

Did you go to school to study photography? If yes, where?
The only photography class I ever took was an intro class in 10th grade at my public high school. I do hope to enroll in a club or class this summer!

How would you describe your style?
Straightforward and simple. When it comes to nature you don’t have to look hard for something beautiful. If I see something I find captivating I point and shoot. Rather than creating a scene, I appreciate what is already present.

What type of camera(s) do you shoot with?
Occasionally I use my iphone 4s, but would prefer to use my Nikon D3200.

What type of photography is your favorite and why? - Anything having to do with nature or wildlife. This world is going through some dark times which can bring a lot of people down and make them feel as if there's little hope, I too have been there. But once you're able to start looking at life, at this world, from different perspectives, it doesn't take long before you're able to see this world still has an amazing amount of beauty left to offer us all on a daily basis. That beauty is what I attempt to capture in every shot I take.

When did you first start doing photography? - I'd say about 7 years agoWhen you're not shooting photos, how do you spend your time? Well I'm usually working. But during my free time you'll find me doing whatever I can to help improve my life. I recently took up meditation which has been an interesting as well as rewarding experience. If I have enough time I tend to find somewhere new to explore, whether it be an old abandoned building, or just going for a walk through the woods. The places I enjoy most are the ones with the least amount of human interaction/distraction

Did you go to school to study photography? If yes, where? No, I have not. I've always enjoyed learning how to do things on my own. If someone is there teaching me what to do, I feel it drains a considerable amount of fun and excitement out of the experience. "Learning as you go" has always worked best for me.How would you describe your style? - I'm not really sure to be honest. I'm kind of all over the place. I think it all depends on the situation and what I'm shooting at that time. If something catches my eye, I'll try to capture it as best I can. If someone else would like to label me as having a certain style, great. But to me, I'm just someone with a camera enjoying the world around him

What type of camera(s) do you shoot with? - Nikon D3100. It's a bit outdated, but still does the job for now. I plan on upgrading shortly, I just happen to be a bit torn between Nikon and Canon at the moment.

As Etsy gets more and more ridiculous with its policies, I have begun to sell elsewhere. I just opened my shop, ALew Photography on Zibbet. You can purchase my prints, ceramic mugs, greeting cards, and many more items that feature my photography.
